DIU Special Forces in Crimea burn two enemy aircraft and destroy radar stations

Special Forces of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) conducted a successful operation in the temporarily occupied Crimea, causing significant damage to the Russian army.

This was reported by the DIU.

The masters of the "Ghosts" Special Forces unit eliminated another expensive enemy target. In the course of the operation, the Ukrainian military intelligence officers burned down two An-26 transport aircraft of the Russian invaders, which were used to transport cargo and personnel.

In addition to the aircraft, the reconnaissance men disabled important elements of the radar infrastructure, hitting a surface radar station and a coastal radar MR-10M1 "Cape M1". The destruction of this station is a significant loss for the enemy, as it provided surveillance of the Black Sea and supported the work of the Russian fleet. The DIU emphasized that their actions systematically harm the occupation army.

The Ukrainian military intelligence conducted a successful cyber operation, which resulted in access to the digital networks of the occupation administration of the temporarily occupied Crimea.

The obtained materials include official correspondence of the so-called "head of Crimea" Aksyonov, documents of ministries, as well as important evidence of war crimes. In particular, materials on the forced deportation of Ukrainian children were found. The lists contain the names, dates of birth and information about the guardians of children taken from the occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions to Crimea and Russia. All this data has already been passed to Ukrainian law enforcement for investigation.

In addition, the intelligence gained access to databases related to "svoboda". These include lists of Russian soldiers with detailed profiles and information about their relatives. There are also registers of the dead, convicts, and data on payments of "coffin money", as well as documents on the provision of land to the occupiers in Crimea. Some files indicate a shortage of fuel on the peninsula after strikes on oil refineries in Russia.
